Our Admissions Policy can be found at the bottom of this page.

In deciding where you would like your child to go to school, it is really important to find out as much as you can about the schools themselves.  Here at Loose Primary we welcomed lots of families along on Wednesday 4th & Thursday 5th November for tours round the school. If you missed these dates and would like a tour please contact the school office on 01622 743549 as we have a handful of smaller tours available. 

The local authority (LA) coordinates all admissions for children starting school for the first time and the link below will direct you to the Kent County Council website where you will find all the information that you require. If you have a child in any other year group, and would like to enquire about places, then please do so directly through the school office. 

Applications for children starting Reception in September 2027 will open on the 6th November and close on the 15th January 2027. Offer day is Friday 16th April . Full information can be found here.

Offer emails will be sent to the email address provided on your application.

In Year Admissions 

If your child is at primary, junior or secondary school and you want to move them to a different school in Kent, you will need to submit an In Year Admissions Form.

Unlike an admissions application when a child starts school, the local authority cannot make this offer on your behalf. You are required to apply to the school that you want your child to attend.

As there is no guarantee that your preferred school(s) will have a space available for your child, you should not remove them from their current school before you are sure they have somewhere else to go.

If you want to move your child to a school in Kent, you must complete the In Year Admissions Form - see link below.

Your application will be sent automatically to the schools you have selected. A copy will also be sent to the Kent In Year Admissions Team for monitoring purposes.
